About this event
Ethan Bueno de Mesquita, AB’96, dean and Sydney Stein Professor of the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy, will lead a dynamic conversation and rigorous look at the modern mechanics of American government. He will be joined by Alexander Fouirnaies, associate professor at Harris Public Policy; Bridget Fahey, AB’08, professor in the Law School; and Ruth Bloch Rubin, associate professor in the Department of Political Science. Moving beyond the standard narrative of gridlock, this faculty panel, featuring some of the scholars behind UChicago’s Battle of the Branches podcast, will examine how shifting dynamics are reshaping American governance—and what these changes may mean for accountability, democratic norms, and the future of the republic.
